Singular Suicide of II Russian Surgeon.
La Ian d..


A remarkable sdiclde has recently been
committed IA ST. Petersburg. short time
ago woman, aged %, came TO consult DR..
Botklne, who found that she was suffering
from a tuberculous ulcer.
= N operation being deemed necessary DIR.
B0tkine sent her TO NJ. koOminne, a surgeon
of considerable repute. He administered to
her slight dose of saline aciu of cocaine, and
dnding this did not take effect he increased
the do-e and performed the operation with
complete success, but 4 few hours afterward
he received message TO say that his patient
seemed 10 be dying, and he found upon hurry
ing 10 her that, judging by the feeblenass of
the pulse and BLUSH appearance of the face,
Sue was suffering IRON the effects of poison
All the efforts male TO save her were of no
effect and she died the same evening.
NJ. KOlOmlnne was SO overcome that he de.
nOunccd himself as her murderer. though all
his colleagues assured him that he was in no
way to blame. But he would not listen to
them, and a few days afterward he blew mis-
brains out, leaving a note in which he said ::
II must nave been the victim of some tenn
pOrary alteration, and this has caused the
catastrophe which drives me to despair. I

He that cannot forgive others,

He who makes a great fuss about

Am l A Christian?

Many protesting Christians are
greatly embarrassed and perpleXed
in determining the question of their
own personal piety. What they would
like to know to such a certainty as
excludes doubt is that they are Chris
tians. This they do not know, and
hence they severely catechise them
selves on the point. 1t IS quite true
that the Bible directs US to examine
ourselves. and thus ascertain wheth-
er we are in the faith. This is an
important work, and vet it is a great
mistake in Christian eXperienc to
carry it to excess. or treat 1t as if
it were the main business of life.
He who does this will never be able
10 satisfy himself that he is a Chris
tian. He will, in a certain sense,
look his own spiritual exercises out
of countenance and brighten them
into retirement, so that he cannot
see them at all or hope with any
comfort. The main duty of the
Christian is not to determine whether
he is such, but to do the things which
constitute and mark a Christian
character. No man Will be saved
or lost on the basis of his own judg-
ment as to his own piety. What
ever one may think of himself. he
will be saved if he believes in and
loves Christ and dsvOtes his life TO
him and if he does not do this then
he will not be saved. Our advice
TO those who are forever asking the
question whether they are Christians
and never are able TO answer it is to
engage with all their hearts in the
duties of the Christian life, to work
for Christ, to labor and pray for the
salvation of sOuls-in short, To obey
the commandments of God. Doing
this, they will solve the problem of
personal pietv much more easily and
safely than they can by making it
the prominent speciality of Christian
thought. Their own piety will spon-
taneously affirm itself in their own
consciousness. They viii not need
to hunt for it, or get up syllogisms
to prove it. since their daily lives
will be the living proof constantly
before their eyes. Try the remedy
we suggest, We self-questioning and
self-disputing doubters, and we pre-
dict that yoH win not do so in vain

picions and all observation-disclosures. Real
Christianity is not sitting in Moses
seat. and binding upon men heavy
burdens. and grevious to be borne.
Real Christianity is not-but we
know too well these spurious, begger-
~ and hateful things which Christi
anitv is not. What it is, something
most human and divine, we see and
own whenever a disciple shows Christ
in some TRANSPORTATION of character
to us. 1t is Christ-Christ loved,
chosen. obeyed, as Master and Lord
1t means for YOU and me, not only
following Jesus in grateful memory

lice and Judea, but following Him in

Whittier The River Cometh.

A distinguished English minister,
in speaking of Japan, once said,
"It is but a lifetime since Commo-
dore Perry, laying the Bible on his
capstan over the Stars and Stripes,
made the Bay of Yeddo ring with the
first Christian hymn.
Look now and see The fields Of
that country are filled with reapers
bringing in the sheaves. The pro-
phetic promise has been fulfilled,
Everything liveth whittier the river
cometh."
On the walls of our Sunday-school
room there is a large map, on which
are marked in bright colors all the
mission stations in the world. 1t
looks as if a mission ship could find
safe anchorage in any port on the
globe. Truly .sthe lesson of the
missionary is the enchanter's wand"
The gospel is life-giving wherever it
goes.
.'Have YOU ever heard the gospel
before:' said a missionary to a Chi
naman in Ningpo, whom he saw for
the first time at preaching service.
No" the man replied, "bnt l
have seen it. l knew a man who
was the terror of the neighborhOOd.
He was as dangerous as a wild beast
and a bad opium smoker. But when
the religion of Jesus took hold of
him he became wholly changed. He
is gentle, moral and not soon angry,
and has left off opium. Truly the
teaching is good"
Philanthropists everywhere are
seeking after the best methods for
reforming the vicious classes. The
gospel Is the surest reforming agency
in the world to-day. Conversion is
the most effectual reformation. A
good friend once said to me that he
believed nothing but the grace of
God would ever reform a drunkard.
The same grace will save from any
vice and will teach men how to live
rightly in this present world. Here
Is the true remedy for evil.
On the Pacific slope there are fer
tile tracts of land yielding all man.
ner of fruits an hundred-fold. Not
many wears ago these lands were
seemingly incapable of cultivation.
Whence the change: Running through
them now Is a ditch that a man can
step across, from which is distributed
pure water brought from a river miles
away. BY the stream, Ion this side
and on that side are vineyards and
orange groves and grain fields. The
desert has been transformed into "A
land of wheat and vines and fig trees
and pomegrantes land of oil-olive
and honey"
And so men who come under the
power of the gospel of the grace of
of Good will be .sflled with the fruits
of righteousness. .'For the fruit
of the spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth. "-Obserrer

And if we have any doubts as to
just what this real Gospel is, there
is one sure way in which we can
learn it. Take the New Testament.
and learn of what spirit, and what

light thing. 1t means reading the

Schools In Alaska.

The houses of the natives are all num-
bered in large figures, painted in black
over the front and only entrance to their
homes, the numbers running consecutive
ly. This metropolitan feature was in
trOdnced by one Captain Glass, United
States military officer then stationed at
Sitka and was inaugurated as a military
measure before the civil government
was established, and Tor the purpose Of
locating and identifying a truant Indian
child when absent from the Indian school
during the hours of its session. At that
time the Indian children were compelled
by the military authorities to attend
school, each scholar being obliged to
wear a tag made OF tin and fastened by
means Of string around the neck. The
tag was about three times the size of
silver dollar, and bore the number of
the child in school and the number of
the house in which it lived.
If child was found on the street dur
ing school hours the Indian policeman
who was also chief of the tribe, whose
name is Anneshootez, was under strict
orders to take the number of the tag and
report it, The next morning the head
Indian of the house to which the child
belonged was summoned 80 appear and
answer for the absence of the truant
and if such absence was found to have
been wilful the head Indian was fined or
imprisoned few fines were found
sufficient, and had the effect of producing
prompt and punctual attendance of all
the. children.
This means was found necessary in or
der to overcome the antipa' by of the
parents against having their children
educated, and thereby drawn away from
the ancient customs, traditions and meth
DDS of living of their race. This custom
has fallen into disuse since the estab-
1884. The parents have come to know
aud understand the benefits derived from
the education of their children, and are
now quite ready to lend their assistance
in compelling them to attend The school
The FIRST SPINNING FRAME. The first
spinning frame made in this country,
which has been temporarily intrusted to
the Brown University Tor safe keeping,
will soon be sent to the Patent Office at
Washington. Samuel Slater, the inyeu-
tor, introduced it into the old spinning
mill at Pawtucket, r. l., about the year
1870. 1t was first started in clothier's
shop of that town, together with two
other machines of a somewhat similar
pattern. In year and half it is said
that they over-stocked the market as
several thousand tons of yarn had ac-
cumulated in that time despite the man
ulacturer's efforts to dispose of it. The
machine is still in excellent order, con-
sidering its great age.
